Leighton Park School reunion on Saturday

Former pupils of Leighton Park School in Shinfield Road are being invited to head back to class for a reunion this Saturday.

Organisers are keen to track down ex-students who left in 2002, 1992, 1982, 1972, 1962, 1952 and 1942 to join in the celebrations at the independent school from 11am and 5pm.

Guests will be able to wander around the school and see their old haunts and how things have changed before a ‘school dinner’ of fish and chips followed by apple crumble.

Penny Wallington, manager of alumni relations, said: “Reunions are proving so popular for the Old Leightonians, an opportunity every 10 years to meet up with old friends, revisit old haunts and reminisce.

“We are using both our own contact information, Facebook, Linkedin and other networking sites, and even searching the internet to try and trace students.”
